Our reporter tells us that it looks like police have now left the scene of the incident after house-to-house inquiries.

Meanwhile, two men remain in police custody and are being quizzed by detectives.

That brings to an end our live coverage of this incident.

If you have any information, call police on 101.

He said: “We need a sustained police presence in Bartley Green.

“Residents need assuring that the police staffing levels out on the streets are appropriate.

The area around Scotland Lane has suffered with some anti-social behaviour problems recently.

In June we told how residents were angry after a car was left burnt out near their homes.

One householder said: “We heard something but thought it was one of those quad bikes backfiring. “They’re always riding them round here like maniacs.“But then the police were here and closed the road. They were outside for about three or four hours.”

Our reporter Neil Elkes said: “None of the residents I’ve spoken to heard any gunfire. But all heard the police and saw the activity all evening.

“Another resident has told me that there is a problem with anti-social behaviour and boy racers speeding around the island. But not heard of gun crime before.”

Comments just in from local councillor Des Flood.

He said: It really is concerning that guns are being used on the streets of Bartley Green.

“Police presence in the area has noticeably decreased following the recent closure of the police base, which local councillors had fought hard to save.”
